So, which shop charged the most for GTA V?
I was shocked to learn yesterday that GAME are charging £45 for GTA V. I had suspected they would break the £40 barrier and was unwilling to pre-order with them for that reason(even though I had games to trade). HMV closed their store near where I live so i'm not sure if they followed suit?
Anyways, amazing that they feel they can get away with that when Tescos are selling it for £38 and on-line even cheaper. Is it your average gamer at fault for not shopping around or is there a reason why gamers want to pay extra? When you think of the volumes that were shifted they still would've made a hefty profit if they sold at £40. To make it worse trade-in price is £22. Yeah, not a fan if you haven't guessed already.

I went to asda yesterday to get mine and it was £39.97
Second that
Then they just reduced it! I went in on release day and it was £42 :eek:
I bought mine from Asda on release day at £39.97
not Amazon but a seller on there
Not really.
The RRP is £49.99, so while GAME might be more expensive than other retailers they aren't over charging at all. In addition, supermarkets will sell games like GTA at a very small (or even no) profit, as a way of generating footfall, in the hope that people will buy other things while they are there.
Good on you for going elsewhere. Nothing but pure greed on their behalf. There is absolutely no reason why you should pay more than you have to. Do they allow the student discount for other launches?
What if you are studying media or computer programming?
a independant trader called Games4u had it priced at £59.99
i new game would charge as much as they can.
they still got the last of us for £40
They were selling it at 75 quid sat to monday...before release somehow, then it dropped it to 55 quid on release day up to yesterday and they now got it at 45 quid
so they win and i thought they were just second hand
Omgz wer can I sing up 4 dat!!
I remember being able to refer to GTA in one of my Communication Studies A Level exams, which was fun for me, although I've forget the relevance of it now!
